[Read March 2, 1882.] 



I AM indebted to my friends Messrs. Osbert Salvin and P. Du 

 Cane Godman for the opportunity of examining a very inter- 

 esting collection of birds lately received by them from their cor- 

 respondent Mr. A. Goldie. The name of this collector is well 

 known in connexion with the natural history of South-eastern 

 New Guinea ; and in the present instance, having visited fresh 

 ground, he has procured several very striking species of birds, 

 some of which appear to be new to science. I am preparing 

 for the Society a detailed account of the collection ; and in the 

 meantime content myself with supplying diagnoses of some 

 species which seem to me to be undescribed.
